When quizzed about whether he thought he would act again in the future, having now appeared in films like ‘One Chance’ and ‘Begin Again’, James claimed: “It's definitely in my plan to carry on acting at some point, I've just got this little merry jaunt to go on which is bound to be a disaster and the show will be cancelled and then I'll have to go and get another job.”
